Is there anything on the blu-ray set that's not on the Quad DVD set? I already have Alien on blu, and the quad on DVD, but I'm not sure I need to upgrade on the whole set since Alien is pretty much the only one I watch. I know 21 bucks is a super great deal, but I am also super broke right now, thanks to my girlfriend having a birthday right before Thanksgiving, and within Christmas shopping time.

The Aliens transfer is great, the Alien 3 sound/workprint version have been improved and (I think?) there's more that's been added to the Alien 3 doc. It also includes the doc "The Alien Saga" narrated by John Hurt, which was originally its own disc.

The thing is, I have them on dvd already, and I've spent the last month going through them (in order) with my wife. I'm not sure when I'd have the itch to watch them all again, so buying the set now would probably be a waste of money (it would sit on my shelf, unwatched for the most part). I just can't mentally justify dropping that kind of coin on a desk ornament.

I owned the Bond dvd set & all of the docs & features I saw in those 2-disc dvds were in each of the new blu discs. In fact, they've all been reframed & cleaned up for the blu set. It's actually pretty impressive.

Personally I've been eyeing this Hitchock Masterpiece Collection Blu-ray set. It is listed for $169 at Costco right now. Any news on how good the transfers are?
if it doesn't get within the $100 range I might have to force myself to wait till next year.

The quality is pretty variable. The bigger titles (vertigo, rear window, psycho) look great, but it is pretty clear universal cheaped out on some of the lesser titles (family plot being the most egregious offense).

As for the price, I would highly reccommend ordering it from the uk, where its only about 100-110. North by northwest is not included (universal liscensed it from wb for th use release, but did not get international rights), but that movie is readily available anyway.

I own the Masterpiece collection on DVD, so I'm hesitant to buy the whole thing again. However, I'd love to have Rear Window and Vertigo on Blu. I'm hoping they'll sell them individually starting next year.

Yeah, I also own the Masterpiece Collection on DVD (in that dust loving felt box) and I already own Psycho and North by Northwest on Blu-Ray. I wish I could just buy Vertigo and Rear Window on Blu-Ray. The Collection is $150 on Amazon.
